Integration issues discussed in Yerevan today

20 мая 2016

The concept of a single market of oil and oil products was accepted by the Prime Ministers of the Eurasian Economic Union. In the future, the document must be approved of by the heads of state.

The capital of Armenia hosted the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council. The Belarusian delegation was headed by Prime Minister Andrei Kobyakov. During the meeting, a wide range of integration issues was discussed. In particular, Belarus has taken the initiative to speed up the work on the Customs Code.

Regional integration plays an increasingly important role in the global economy. China, Iran, Singapore and other countries want to have preferences in trade with the EAEU. By the way, next week the Belarusian parliament intends to ratify the agreement on free trade zone with Vietnam.
